Some National League action for me tonight. Tamworth vs Sutton United. Decent quality. All-action. Still 0-0 at HT though!

August 25th 2026 The City Ground Nottingham Forest 0-2 Leeds United Carabao Cup 2nd Round Great game, Forest poor and very wasteful. Absolutely in love with this stadium. You could feel the history in all four corners.

August 22nd 2026 Leicester City 1-2 Burton Albion Sky Bet League One Truly one of the worst first halves of football I've ever witnessed.

Those baulking at a potential £65m fee for Carlos Baleba must be forgetting Brighton demanding more than £100m just a year ago. He was never a £100m player. But he's definitely a £50m-£60m player in this market, and on current form. If United can get him, that's a very balanced midfield. #mufc

I missed Argentina-Egypt cos of work. At first I thought "how did they throw away a 2-goal lead?". Just watched the highlights, and it's clear. If this isn't a massive fix, I don't know what is. Corruption in plain sight. An inexplicably disallowed goal, then a clear pen not given? Come on.

I didn't manage to stay up and hate watch the USA-Belgium game. But needless to say, I'm glad the Belgians absolutely smashed them. The Balogun nonsense has definitely united Europeans on this one!

Mike Barclay @mikeunited.co.uk · 04/07/2026

It took a VAR check for a blatant penalty for this ref to finally act on something. A mental amount of leniency in this game so far! Mbappé scores from the penalty spot to make it 1-0.

Wow. Tears in his eyes. Raul Jimenez scores his first World Cup goal, at a home tournament, on front of a packed stadium. He probably thought he'd never play again at one point in his career. Stuff of dreams 🥺

I just love the team effort to not only get Bruno over the line, but to hold the assist record outright. It really bodes well for next season. This is a team. No bellends.

Harry Maguire left out of the England World Cup squad. Thomas Tuchel can fuck right off. Maguire's had an excellent season. Silver linings though, he gets a full summer's rest.

Out of United's new recruits, who are you happiest with? They've all been relatively successful. But who's your standout? I'll be honest, I'm smitten with Cunha. The guy is an incredible talent and personality. Very United.

Ten years ago this week, I somehow got tickets to Leicester vs Everton at the King Power. As a neutral, I witnessed football history. 5000-1 Leicester City lifting the Premier League trophy. The city partied for a year. It was insane. And now a decade later, club's a mess. Football. Bloody hell.

Mike Barclay @mikeunited.co.uk · 07/05/2026

Morning! ☀️ While we're still in regular season mindset, I'd disengaged from any World Cup talk. And for various reasons, let's just say I'm not as hyped as usual. So I bought myself a football magazine for the first time in years. And it comes with a wall chart! My inner child is happy 😊

Yesterday marked 30 years since we were crowned Champions after beating Middlesbrough away 3-0, 5/5/96. After the absolutely gutting 95 defeat, this win felt euphoric. Good times.

Mike Barclay @mikeunited.co.uk · 27/04/2026

✅ Three valuable points against a tough team ✅ Another Bruno assist ✅ Held on despite pressure ✅ Casemiro masterclass I love an ugly win. And with Champions League football now almost locked in, even more so! We're a fragile squad still - mentally and physically. But we've got character.

Amazed at the staggering shortsightedness of the Leicester City money men, thinking the timing of this was appropriate considering their impending relegation to League One 🙄

Late to this, but I'm genuinely buzzing to see Harry Maguire signing a new contract. And taking a pay cut too. Fair play. He's a reliable, consistent leader. You can never have enough of those. #mufc #manutd

I hate to bang on about it, but do you think maybe there might be *some* update on the 115 charges in 2026? Or is that unlikely? I mean, it's only been 3 years since these stories broke.

Newspaper headlines from the 2023 news of Manchester City's 115 charges from the Premier League

Lack of hype for the World Cup, wonder why that could be? Take your pick. Overpriced tickets? Government treatment of foreigners? The fact there's an actual war started by a host nation? Weird saying this as a football fanatic, but there's bigger things in the world than football.

Personally, I just like to see Rob Edwards smiling! Wolves 2-1 Liverpool You love to see it!

Liking this. Great chance for Yoro to be tested against the likes of Strand Larsen and Sarr. Palace's threat is often out wide, so nullifying/occupying Muñoz and Mitchell will be key. Buzzing for Sesko starting. #mufc

Should Man Utd talk Casemiro into staying with a lower-salary contract? Casemiro announced he's leaving the club at the end of the season. He's on a huge contract, but clearly loves the club. Could he be tempted to another year of mentoring the new guy? 🤔 #mufc #manutd #casemiro #PremierLeague
